Hwy Bar Chaps

I'm pretty certain that there is a previous thread on this subject, but I was unable to find it, even using the search feature, so I am asking.

Besides the Desert Dog Chaps, is there another brand that is just as good but doesn't cost quite as much? I need to order a set for both my wife and myself--actually for our bikes. LOL.

Thanks.

I purchased mine from 88888888u on Ebay.Very High quality with stainless steel snaps and adjustable cross straps.I believe I paid about $63 shipped.There are more expensive chaps but I believe these chaps have the most bang for the buck.

Airlite makes a great one piece set.

+1 for the airlites. Easy on and off and good protection.

Any problems with front end 'lift' at higher speeds ?

Front end lift is good.Saves wear and tear on the front tire.Become one with it.Now to answer your question...The only difference I noticed was less cold air on my legs.
